Answer 1

as long as you're here to live a peaceful life and not commit any crimes, i'm cool with it.....

just live off your money you earn, and everything will be fine.

Answer 2

I am happy for you, and as far as doing it legally let me tell all of the Americans what that actually entails. First you have to deposit in a bank $85 dollars, once you do that they give you a code to use when you call the U.S. embassy to schedule an appointment which if I am correct exists only in Mexico City and Guadalajara.Once you call they will give you an appointment so if you live far away you have to travel sometimes 24 hours by bus to get there. Once you get there you have to prove that you are financially stable in order to obtain a traveling visa. Now if you want a work permit that is a whole different story. You have to prove many more things such as where you will be working, medical test, financial information etc. Don't you think if the people who enter illegally could do it legally they would? But the whole system is set up against them from the beginning. Its classic oppression of the poor. Until that gets changed there will always be illegal immigration. By the way I have no problem with people coming into the USA illegally as long as they are trying to better themselves and their families and don't look for handouts or commit crime.

Answer 3

I admire the fact that you want to better yourself and provide a better future for your children...

That said, I still find it difficult to believe that a college-bound person such as yourself refuses to accept the fact that if you are in the U.S. without proper documentation then it doesn't matter whether you've been living here for 60 years or 60 seconds: YOU ARE STILL A CRIMINAL.

You can talk about my ancestors all you want, but the fact is that they were here LEGALLY. When the Great Depression plagued our nation, how many of our parents and grandparents do you think sought ILLEGAL refuge in another country? I'd venture a guess that it wouldn't even number in the thousands.

You can feed us tired cliches like "paper tears...but success lasts a lifetime", but it just doesn't sound genuine anymore. And yes, man is created equal, but it is a man's actions which allow him to rise above the masses, or sink into the cesspool of the criminal world...
...One way is difficult, honorable, and legal, ---the other is easy, shameful, and illegal...

It is apparent what choice you have made, --- as well as what kind of role-model you have decided to be for your children.
I seriously hope you will reconsider your choice,...
...and soon.

Answer 4

You my breath the same air but you are not the same as me. I am an immigrant and I am legal and you are a criminal. I know that you don't think you are because no one is prosecuting you for it but honey you are. If you are so concerned about what people think of you go get your green card. See you are worse than me you are illegal and there is no excuse for it if you have lived here you whole life.

Answer 5

If you've lived and worked in the US your entire life you have good argument to gain citizenship. It's no fault of your own you weren't documented as a child. That is, if you want to be a citizen. Wouldn't it be nice to get that $ back when you overpay the IRS every year? To be able to legally marry? I agree that all men and women were created equal in the eyes of God, but honestly, the government doesn't really see things that way. They want to get to know you and make tax $ off you first. I have a hard time understanding why someone who has lived here their whole life would not feel entitled to citizenship or express a desire to have it.

Good luck with college! I applaud your ambitious spirit.

Answer 6

Technically, ole chap, we are not created equally or we would have developed within an average rate. Meaning there SHOULD be no third world countries. We breed race horses for a reason.

Because you're too stupid to see, the basic economic impact of Illegal’s residing in our country destroys everything we have strove to achieve. When our ancestors came here this (our economic machine and its balancing mechanisms) did not entirely exist.

The fact that I have to explain it to you indicates that you are some idiot with too much Liberal upbringing. Take a basic Economics class then come back and ask the same question. For you're edification, we have loaned Mexico and a number of third world countries Billions upon Billions of dollars (each) only to cancel the debts over and over again. This is an effort to create a one world nation or rather a one world bank (once again refer to the Economics class). This has only served to reduce our worth (see; GNP) to nothing both physically and in terms of real world impact (The fact that I struggle to pay for MY three children) AND pay for free Welfare, pre-natal services, Medical, Medicare, WIC, food stamps, Housing, free schooling, free bussing (While I pay $330 per child in CA!), tax breaks for medical clinics along the border and everything else for over 17,000,000 ILLIGAL residents who for the most part send their earnings BACK to their homes in these already bought and paid for third world countries, and NOT into our TAX system.

My advice is to stop living in your WAY misguided world and go to school. THEN have three children and pay that additional tax for someone other then YOUR family. PS: Chances are you have ALREADY HAD MULTIBLE CHILDREN WHICH I MUST SUPPORT. And, if your an alien, I'm a superhero. Cheerio.

REMEMBER THE 5th!!!

Answer 7

There is just one thing you are forgetting about your explanation, and that is, you are breaking the law, and you are an illegal. Just because you are here and working, does not give you anymore rights than any other illegal person or criminal. We would love to welcome you to our country if it were not for the fact that you are a self declared illegal person and that is a crime in this country and in all countries around the world.

You just might be a wonderul, human being. I am sure you are. But I know lots of criminals that are good people too, but they are still criminals. They broke the laws of this land. If you were educated you would understand the difference between the American ancectors immigrating to the USA. They were GRANTED by the Government the right to immigrate here. You were not. You need to apply for the right to be here.

Men are created equal in this country as soon as they become legal immigrants and not law breaking criminals. Criminals are not equal in the site of the law. As they have broken the law and the equality of their actions have been stripped away.

There are processes that you must go through and the laws you must obey. I went through these processes and I am legal. You and all illegal persons are not immigrants. Immigrants have come to this country under the law with our welcome.

I am sorry you took the law in to your own hands and decided you are better than others and you don't need to abide by the laws of this country. It is for that fact that you are NOT an Immigrant but a illegal person that has hid from the law and are not abiding by the laws of this land.

That is the difference in being an Immigrant or just another illegal law breaking person.

All Legal Immigrants are welcome to this country but criminals are not. If you are not here as a legal immigrant, then you are here as a criminal that is breaking the law everyday. Sorry but that is the law and that is the way it is.

Answer 8

You are the typical opportunist.
Go where the money is.
Don't try and change your own country for the better, just go steal what others have already done and do the best you can. When you get caught... take the money and run. Don't worry about all the suffering and hardship you've created. Just worry about you. Your children will make GREAT UNION WORKERS SOME DAY!!!

Answer 9

Illegal is the operative word. You have broke a law. Wish I had an answer to settle the emigration problems, but I don't. I'm really down on Mexico, with a stock market of 21,000, that's a lot of pesos,The wealthy and Government owe their poor, to create jobs and a better life, instead of letting/encourageing them to go to America. Sorry if I'm stepping on your toes, right to opinion you know???

Answer 10

if you really wan the best for yourself you should be legal. How is living in fear good for your kids? Or yourself? That's great you want the best for yourself and kids, but there are proper channels to go through, I work with many immigrants some of my best friends are, and it isn't fair to them that they are without their families for years, because they are trying to do things the right way, and go through the proper channels! Some people respect the legal system others don't.

Answer 11

If you are illegal, then how have you been here all of your life? Don't ***** about being here and struggling. And don't compare living now to the Depression. We, (you and I) have no idea what it was like then to go thru that. If you have been living here forever, why are you not legal now?
